Senior Project – Computer Engineering - 2005
Analog Communication over Wireless Networks
By: Michael Pascucci
Advisor: Professor Spinelli
Purpose:
-Voice-over-Internet-Protocol (VoIP) currently exists as a free
telephone alternative. PCs connected over the Internet can access
telephones using phone numbers converted to IP addresses.
- My project allows for portable VoIP, using Microcontrollers
(“cell phones”) connected over a wireless Internet network addresses.
- Please note: Wireless RS-232 was used, not Wireless Internet
Constraints:
- Telephone
Quality Audio
……~ Sample 8000 sample/sec (8 KHz) with 8 bits/sample
……~ Output at > 8 KHz (in 2n KHz increments) …… …… ……
- Minimal Propagation Delay (< 200 ms) …… ……
- Serial RS232 protocol-transmission
…… ~ 115200 baud rate (bits/second) to prevent data loss …… …… …
… ~ 8-n-1 transmission format (8 data bits, no parity, 1 start/stop bit)
- 8 bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) / 12 bit Digital-to-Analog (DAC)
Wireless VoIP Cell Phone
Interpolating the signal on output allows a more accurate reproduction
without increasing the input Sample Rate
Input signal – 8 KHz sample rate
Output signal – interpolation at 16 KHz
Output signal – no interpolation
